Re: Another nap poll
Also, for anyone jealous of my self-soother, my DD was absolutely not a good self soother or sleeper. I deserve this baby because I've been on the other end of the spectrum.

My LO is the same, she sleeps at night on the PNP but on daytime I cannot even put her down on it without she waking up. Don't ask me why.
We had a nice schedule going on until last week, now we are all over the place because she won't sleep longer than 40 minutes, she used to take along nap in the morning, one early afternoon and a long one around 4pm. Now she takes her morning nap on bed with me, and the rest of the days cat naps in my arms or in her swing. They can be 20 minutes or 40 minutes max.

Same exact thing here, but I'm opposite whereas I'm letting her nap in the mamaroo until she outgrows it and hoping she will be more ready to nap in the crib or not in my arms by then. If it doesn't work then I'll just deal with it then and hope she's at least sleeping longer at night by then. I'm trying to make up for the lack of night sleep right now and will take anything I can get.
I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.
Also using the bouncer is helpful, or using the rocking bassinet (tho that's a longer process).
Oddly he ALWAYS falls asleep at restaurants. If I can't get him to sleep I should go out to eat, haha!

Could it be that the sounds are like white noise to him? DS does the same thing when we're at any type of gathering (fell asleep in my armsfor one of the first times ever last weekend at one). We usually use the swing for naps as he hates napping anywhere but there and the car. I try to fight with him for the PNP but he just can't figure out how to seal the deal there yet
